The Detecto brand name, known around the world, assures you of a reliable, accurate scale for pediatric weighing. The Detecto model 8435 offers you a choice of pounds or kilograms. Lightweight and attractive, this baby scale features a heavy-duty, rust-resistant understructure and digital speed and accuracy. The polystyrene trays are a snap to clean and the scales feature compact footprints. The heavy-duty steel base provides patient assurance while weighing.

Detecto’s model 8435 features an easy-to-use keypad and extra-large display that is perfect for patient weighing and viewing by the attending nurse, physician, or home healthcare professional. The filtering feature compensates for typical baby movement and the Lock key holds weight, so the nurse can attend to the baby first and then record the weight.

The 8435’s capacity is 130 lb x 0.1 lb / 59 kg x 0.05 kg with OneWeigh units locking, so you can select lb or kg upon initialization and lock in the units to your preference and prevent dosing errors.
